glovebox options decals ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JQ-72** · 07-30-2003, 10:42 PM

I saw that Rick's pickup parts had some blank options decals for the inside glovebox door. My question : Is there anyone who can type these out to where it looks 100% original? I have seen some at shows and you can tell that it is not the same style of print that came from the factory. Any ideas?

I seen that posting and am going to purchase several. Thought I might try using an old MANUAL typewriter (they are known to still exist lurking in closets, garages, attics...etc) and see if the type style looks original. Perhaps shoot a black and white printer copy to use for tryout so as not to ruin a good option sticker. Then I could change my glove box door to reflect the new paint color, added original 69-72 factory tow hooks, factory tach and hopefully a factory tilt column.

A while back someone on the board had a file that let you use a computer to type them out. I like the old typewriter thing though, makes it look more original.

There is an options list file you can download at the very bottom of Yukon Jacks web page, here's a link to it.
